COLUMBI^. Saturday Morning, October 6,1866 l/al>or-Aiiofiirr Social Problem. A Sau Francisco correspondent oi a Northern paper, writing on the im migration of the Chinese coolies, thinks that the next social problem will be the status of the Chinese. lu a few months or years, the Chinaman - HI cross the Kooky Mountains and begin, to fill up the Valley of the Mississippi. As soou as the Pacific Railroad is completed, the path will he open to him. The writer states that millions eau still be accommo? dated in the mines there; but that the South, with its fields of cotton, rice and sugar, is the proper place foi the coolies, and argues that as the South is now prostrated by the ravages of war and the effects ol famine, they are needed to recupe? rate lier exhausted energies. We learn that, on the 1st of Janu? ary next, the Colorado, a pioneer ol a new line between San Francis?e and China, will commence her trips, and every arrival will bring from 1,000 to 1,500 to that port.

(X)LTJMBI^. Sunday Morning, October 7, 1866. 'I'lic Uciil I) issi n i on isl u. We can safely aver that there are no disunionists in tho Southern States. Their people, broken down by the casualties and misfortunes of war, have no sparc time to dabble in politics-their great work now is to raise enough for their support, and aro indifferent, or nearly so, to politi? cal issues. Tu this work, all they ask for is to be let alone, for political quiet is absolutely necessary to ac? complish the recuperation of means and resources. Tho seat ?f disunion has been transferred from the South to thc high places of radicalism. The jour? nals in the interest of that party, as wo noticed the other day, are conti? nually lilied with special despatches'. Tho paper chiefly engaged in the atrocious business of keeping up sec? tional strife is the New York Tribune. Tor instance, that journal recently announced that Platte City, Mis? souri, had been seized by a force of rebels, who killed several Union...

I^g:XfitC3E8TiTM ANY True Courage. I love tin- m;tn whoso honest heart Will bravely dare and bravely do; Who will not act the coward's part, But strong in right, will right pursue: Whose knee, ne'er bending at the nod Of titled pomp or regal power, But hows alone before his God, With hope his crown and love his dower; Who dares to face a world of scorn, And dares a brother's band to span, Though dark the skin and rough the form. If vet that brother be a man; Who strikes where'er a wrong 10 found, And brands a tyrant to his face; Nor courts applause, an empty sound. But firmly treads in virtue's trace. Such arc the men who've stemmed thc tide And clove the way through giant wrong; Who've fought triumphant, side by side, 'Mid perils deep and troubles long; Their martyred forms are thickly strewn On many an ancient field of crime; Bul seeds of truth they've widely sown, ? To blossom rich in coming time. Amid these armies *f the dead, Whose legions pale and silent lie, There lives a pas...

Tuesday Morning, October 9, 1866. Fashions tor thc South. We wee many of' our exchangee copviug- and that to the extent of one or two columns-the fashions from Paris and New York. We have occasionally inserted an article of this kind, but it was more as an item that might possibly interest our lady readers, than from the idea that the women of the South, at this time, would seek to follow all the vagaries of fashion, which may emanate from the rich and extravagant centre in this country or from Paris. A young lady, the other day, in New York, had her wardrobe de? stroyed, and claimed from the Com? pany in which it was insured, about as well as we can remember, some 824,000-about two-thirds of its ori? ginal cost. The "opening day" in New York was blazoned forth in the journals of that city, and extensively copied throughout the South. While some fair readers may have looked upon it as a mere article of news, we believe very few of the true women of the South eave much for such matte...

COLUMBI^. Wednesday Morning, Oct. 10,1866. Tile* ("onstittitioiinl Amendment. We have already published the provisions of this monstrous bill, which, in addition to all the Southern people have already suffered, will be forced upon them if the elections now in progress result favorably to the radical party. Andwhutis the pretence* for thus compelling thc people to enact an electoral law repugnant to all right or justice? The answer is, that ns slavery has been abolished, tho freed? men will count, rn making np tho basis of representation. Well, we ask in return, whoso fault is it that Southern representation should b? increased in this way? Certainly not the people of the South. Only three fifths of the blacks were heretofore allowed the South in making up the representative basis, while every ne- j gro in the former free States was counted, and that, too, without the privilege of voting. A cotemporary makes np a count of the loss and gain to each section on the rcsr.lt of eith< ...

COLUMBIA.. Thursday Morning, October ll, 1866. Ireland. A loading London journal, the Pall Midi Gazette, discusses the Irish ques? tion with some show of sense, und indient?'s that some of the English press and people ure not entirely blind to many of the causes of the discontent of the Irish people and their hatred of British rule. The truth is, Ireland is 7Mi"s-governed moro than she is oppressed. The following paragraph glances, at least, at tho truth : "It is a grievous calamity and un? questionably a sad reproach to our statesmen :<nd our nation, that the irish should be so disloyal and should entertain so strong, though often so undefined, a conviction of mis-go? vernment and injustice; for we believe that, in several respects, th ero is scarcely a people upon earth easier to manage, or who would be so at least to any other race than the English. But, unhappily, with frequently the best intentions, we have never got the secret of success; the natures of thc two people are s...
